Fog light installation without prewiring

Alright, so I got a set of OEM fogs.

As much as I'd love to just skip right through everything and just plug em in and add a switch + relay, mine did NOT come prewired.

So here is what I am asking for. I know how to get them wired the way I want and everything (on when the headlights are on), using a Toyota switch, relay, etc. I took off the lower dash and as we all know, behind the knockouts, we have empty harnesses.

Which harness is for what? Are any of these for the factory fog lights? If so, I can assume that I can swap in the factory headlight stalk that had the foglight switch. Obviously, I tried it, and none of the harnesses line up with the OEM rocker switch I bought.

Just curious what exactly they are for, and whether I should bother with them. I bought an that's identical in operation to the ones that came on our truck, aside from the size of the light on the switch.

Any other advice on wiring these fogs, especially for the trucks that didn't come prewired?

Thanks.

I need a switch like yours...where did you get it. Does it fit right into the dash without modification? Thanks neighbor (I live in Aliso Viejo).

It's an OEM Toyota switch and you get them of course from the dealership..ebay or in this site..under product categories, go to lighting. They are a direct fit without modifications..just remove the knock-out covers and the switch snaps in place.

That's a factory fog switch. You should be able to get one at any Toyota dealership for just under $20.
 
Yes, it's a factory switch and it's factory fogs.

I used this to wire them:

How To Wire Fog And Driving Lights Harness Wiring Diagram

I followed the first diagram, except I wired them to come on with the parking lights instead of the headlights so I can use them both with low and highbeams.

RS dude: It's a Toyota switch, bought it from my buddy Bob at Power Toyota Irvine. You're close if you ever wanna come check it out.
 
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but were you able to utilize any of the factory wiring or the factory fog lamp relay to accomplish this? My base model also appears to not have the wiring for fogs at all.
